Hi all,
I've just replaced the keypad on a veritas r8 pre-2000 system as the old keypad had few worn buttons which weren't working correctly. The new keypad seems to be working fine yet at the same time I also replaced the magnetic contact on our front door as it was very hit and miss, think it had probably stuck in closed position.
I've wired up the new contact, the 12v and 0v wires to each of the silver terminals and the 2 tamper wires twisted together to one of the brass terminals but I'm having problems as when I try set the alarm, the zone 1 light (door contact) is staying on and the alarm will not set.
I have tried removing the magnetic part of the switch from the door and holding it really close to the reed switch side but still won't set?
Whats the chances of a new magnetic contact being faulty? Can't see any problems with the wiring.
On another note, does anybody please have a copy of the user and installer manuals for the pre-2000 model? I've got the newer manual but I believe a lot of the programming codes were different on the pre-2000 models.
Thanks in advance for any help
Andy
